A prominent early 20th-century east coast landscapist, Roy Henry
Brown kept a winter studio in New York City and a summer studio in
Wilton, New Hampshire. He began his career in Chicago as an
illustrator for the Chicago Tribune. About 1900, he went to
New York where he enrolled in the Art Students League and trained
with Kenyon Cox (represented in the current auction) and George
Bridgman. From 1907 to 1914, he lived in France, studying at the
Academie Julian with Jean Paul Laurens, Rene Menard, and
Jean-Francois Raffaeli, and painting the Breton coast. Brown worked
both in oil and watercolor, and from 1939 to 1944, served as
[resident of the American Watercolor Society and led the merger of
that group with the New York Watercolor Club. He was also a full
member of the National Academy of Design, where he served as vice
president from 1949 to 1950.
